makes more sense to use the best transducer technology in each area of the reproduced
spectrum. One of Wisdom Audio’s strengths is in seamlessly blending these technologies
– particularly important given the high standards set by our planar magnetic drivers.
Of course, the dynamic woofers themselves must be rather extraordinary to “keep up”
with the planar magnetic drivers right up to the crossover frequency.
Our woofers are different because they must be to do their job. Specifically, we need
highly dynamic, uncompressed bass (to keep up with the planar magnetic drivers) that
does not depend on a critical amount of enclosure volume (since these speakers are
mounted in your wall and use the space inside the wall as their “enclosure”). These two
design goals require rather extraordinary attention to myriad details.
Many speakers include a mid-bass “bump” in their response to give the illusion of going
deeper in the bass than they actually do. Unfortunately, this “bump” makes blending
them seamlessly with a high-quality subwoofer almost impossible.
All
Sage Series
speakers have been designed for optimally at response to 80 Hz, which is
the most-common crossover frequency used with subwoofers.
Unpacking and Installing the C20i
The Wisdom Audio Sage C20i in-wall speaker is a substantial piece of equipment. Please
exercise caution when unpacking your C20i to ensure that you do not strain yourself
from its (perhaps unexpected) weight.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift your C20i modules while bending or twisting from the
waist. Use your legs for lifting, not your back. Always stand as straight as possible and
keep the C20i close to your body to reduce strain on your back.
The speaker is shipped in a “telescoping” box (two five-sided boxes, one of which fits
snugly inside the other). Gently roll the box over so that its bottom is facing up. Then
carefully cut the tape along the bottom of the box on all four sides. Roll the box over
again so the bottom is on the floor and lift off the top. With one person at each end,
carefully lift the speaker out of the box and lay it on a soft surface (carpet or similar).
There are two major pieces involved in a single C20i loudspeaker:
•
the Uni-Grip
™
in-wall mounting system
•
the speaker module itself
